Tales of Berseria Remastered review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 month ago by Richard Ford in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: February 26, 2026
Developer: Bandai Namco
Publisher: Bandai Namco
My experience with Bandai Namco’s storied Tales of franchise amounts ultimately to my time playing Tales of Symphonia and Tales of Vesperia, two games I loved playing dearly a few years back due to several of their characters appearing in the Nintendo 3DS Project X Zone series of games and piquing my interest in learning about their original stories. After Namco’s recent remasters of the above mentioned Tales titles, I was excited to branch out and play some titles in the series I had yet to experience; Tales of Berseria was one of them. The slightly different style of JRPG gameplay and more intense storytelling appealed to me, and having the main protagonist be a female character was a cool switch-up to what I’d experienced previously and was curious how that would impact the way the story was presented. While the storytelling of Tales of Berseria is unquestionably the highlight of the game, this specific version perhaps has not done enough to justify a brand-new release with a ‘remaster’ title.

SEGA explains why it’s important for Yakuza to be on Nintendo Switch 2
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Yakuza series chief director Ryosuke Horii has spoken about why it’s so important for the Yakuza series to be represented on Nintendo Switch 2.
SEGA has slowly been bringing over the franchise’s different games since the console launched last year. This continued with Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties last month. It was notable since for the first time, the series had a new game launching day and date on a Nintendo system alongside other platforms.
Nikkei xTrend recently asked Horii about Yakuza coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Although he’s unsure if the series will sell well on the console immediately, he believes potential fans could pick up the games down the road and the approach allows SEGA to broaden its reach.
